Yes, the supply is capped by residency spots available. They reason they became hyper-supportive is because admissions have become insanely brutal, most poor performers have been screened out before they even apply.

It’s simply politically untenable to kick out students during the program, given the already artificially constrained supply of newly minted physicians and regional shortages of talent.
